Haha You'll have to call him out on it if you ever meet him.
It reminds me of a meme on Facebook of a random person saying (I'm paraphrasing) "Fuck you, Stephen King" and 'Stephen King' replies, "Well, fuck you too, kid."
It probably didn't happen, but it makes me laugh.

True, but a statement no man should ever vocalize to a woman...Well unless you are caught staring at another braless woman and need to quickly explain that it only caught your attention because she desperately needs a bra.

On subject though, if you read much Philip K. Dick, you really start to wonder about his obsession for finding the Dark-Haired Girl. If you take all the references to her from all of his stories, you get a pretty complete image of who this person was. To him anyway.

Then you read details from his biography and get squicked right the hell out about it.

Yeah, his twin sister died at birth or shortly thereafter. It kind of fucked him up.

That's pretty weird. Like, I can't imagine he actually remembers her at all so did his parents just talk about her constantly while he was growing up? Or did he just find out about her when he was at a sensitive age and begin to associate her absence with all his feelings of loneliness?

An alcoholic author, originally from Boston but now living in rural Maine, suffers from nightmares about the end of the world and what comes after. When a man looking for him shows up in town with a gun, he and his golden retriever flee to a small town called Derry to research who this man is. The author discovers his own past, which he has forgotten due to alcoholism and getting hit by a car sometime a while ago. The man is his father! Angry that his own father is out to kill him, and angry about being abandoned as a child, he seeks out this man to uncover the truth. Weird things happen! He has to run onto a dock! There is a gas station! A man wears flannel! The father is part of a Cult! He dreams of his mother and the end of the world again! She isn't wearing a bra and her hair is on fire! That was the last time he ever saw her again! 200 pages later she is dead! The author pleas with God! God is a dog! The Dog is GOD! HE IS HIS OWN FATHER!!!!!

That sounds like it could have been one of his stories. I little siamese twin whispering all his other stories to him and him writing them down. Like she was the true genius and he was just some mutant dude.

If you ever decide to, I'd recommend the original over the recent remake.
That's a very biased opinion. The new one has better looking actors, with the probable exception of Sharon Stone, but the original has a direct link to my childhood.

Then you can maybe answer the question as to whether Quatto or anything Quatto-like appears within. As I said, it's been several years.

Also. Why on earth did you change your name to Anals? I've been wanting to ask but fearing any conceivable answer.

Anais Nin. Would've used Nina (which comes from Anais Nin, actually, and is also close to what my brother used to call me when he was too young to say 'r'), but I don't wanna get stuck with that if they lock the usernames. Also, Clementine was taken (as in Eternal Sunshine...).

I don't think any Quatto/Kuato was actually mentioned, I don't remember that. Quail just remembers going to Mars as a secret agent.
